Everton could consider a surprise move for former Manchester United and Tottenham defender Sergio Reguilon on a free transfer, according to journalist Pete O’Rourke.
The Toffees are reportedly looking at the free agent market amid recent full-back injuries, with summer signing Adam Aznou and Vitaliy Mykolenko both dealing with setbacks.
Although the pair returned to the squad for the 2-1 derby defeat to Liverpool on Saturday, David Moyes’ side could still explore a potential addition amid growing concerns about the depth of the team.
Reguilon is available on a free transfer following his exit from Tottenham this summer and is believed to be attracting interest from several Premier League clubs, with his top-flight experience appealing to sides.
The 28-year-old defender made only six appearances for Spurs under Ange Postecoglou last term, including four in the Premier League, starting once.

According to O’Rourke, Reguilon’s potential return to the Premier League will depend on whether any side finds itself in desperate need of reinforcements at full-back due to injuries:
“A lot will depend on whether any Premier League clubs are in desperate needs of reinforcements at the back due to injury issues.
“Reguilon might then figure on their wanted list because he is a free agent and would be an ideal option to add experience and cover at left-back.
“Being a free agent it would be a low-risk investment for any Premier League clubs because there would be no fee involved for him.”
Reguilon, who joined Spurs from Real Madrid in the summer of 2020, has made just 73 appearances for the club, scoring two goals and providing nine assists.
The two-time Europa League winner spent the 2024/25 season on loan at Man United and Brentford, having been frozen out by Postecoglou from his first-team squad at the time.
Reguilon was also sent to La Liga giants Atletico Madrid during the 2022/23 campaign, making a return to Spanish football following his spells with Real and Sevilla.
Everton’s summer transfer business saw them welcome nine new players, as the Toffees underwent a significant squad rebuild in the first off-season under Moyes.
The Merseysiders brought in the likes of Tyler Dibling, Thierno Barry and Jack Grealish, with the England international joining on a season-long loan from Manchester City.
